io8 The Ottawa Naturalist. [Septsmber 



Trenton. The orders which have received most attention in the 

 past are the Lepidoptera, the Coleoptera, the Hymenoptera, the 

 Diptera, the Hemiptera, and the Odonata. The leaders would be 

 glad to see more work done in the Odonata and the Orthoptera, 

 insects of much economic importance, the former from their 

 predaceous habits of feeding on other insects, particularly mos- 

 quitoes, and the latter from the injuries they do to crops. 



Mention may be made ot the following captures during the 

 past year — nearly all of which are additions to the Ottawa lists.
